Great care goes into every aspect of a Rolex wristwatch, from the intricate movement that beats within the case to the lume on the dial and the metals and gems that decorate its exterior. It takes about a year to produce each watch that hits the market, so you can rest assured that the Rolex you are investing in is of the absolute highest quality. Gold and diamond Rolex watches are among the most coveted for their powerful and luxurious aesthetic. Today, we will take a closer look at Rolex’s collection of diamond watches, including which models offer diamonds, how much they cost, and the ever-growing risky world of aftermarket customizations.Every stone on a Rolex watch is meticulously examined and chosen for its clarity and quality. Every diamond is virtually perfect and will hold its value well. The gems are then each set by hand by an expert gemologist with the same care that is afforded to a fine piece of jewelry. This close attention to detail creates a stunning wristwatch that will stand the test of time. While it’s most common to see a diamond-set dial or diamond bezel, some watches are also adorned with diamonds on their lugs or bracelet.As modern watch tastes shift, fewer models in the Rolex catalog are available with factory-set diamonds. Sports models that were once produced with diamonds, such as the Submariner and GMT Master II, have since-been replaced in favor of less opulent references. However, there is still a great demand for diamond Rolex watches, and the brand continues to offer timepieces adorned with factory-set diamonds, such as the Day-Date, Datejust, Date, Daytona, Yacht-Master, and Pearlmaster. These diamond Rolexes are tasteful and thoughtfully designed to offer just enough opulence without appearing too flashy, a fact that has contributed greatly to their success.
The benefits of owning a diamond watch are clear. They’re elegant, timeless, and makes a bold impression. But how much will one set you back, exactly? That number can vary drastically, depending on the model of the watch, the shape and size of the diamonds, and the quantity used. For example, the premium for a round-cut diamond dial on the Daytona is roughly $2k more than the standard model, and the premium for a diamond dial topped with baguette-cut gems is more than three times that amount.If you’re in the market for a Datejust 36 with a diamond-set bezel, that will set you back about $7k over the standard model. Even more extraordinary is the diamond-paved dial on the iced-out Rolex Yacht-Master 40 ref. 126655 in Everose, which commands $20k over the standard Yacht-Master price. Depending on your preference, adding a diamond Rolex to your collection can either be relatively affordable or will require a serious, top-tier investment.Another interesting fact to consider when looking for a diamond Rolex for sale is that they will almost immediately depreciate in value once they hit the secondary market, although they will almost always be worth more than a non-diamond version of the same watch. If you’re shopping for a watch on the pre-owned Rolex market, then a diamond watch is a very attractive option to consider.You might find it surprising to learn that compared to the total number of Rolex watches produced, a small number were actually factory-set with diamonds. The rest are custom/aftermarket and vary significantly from the timepieces produced entirely by Rolex.For starters, Rolex has access to the highest quality diamonds and employs some of the industry’s most skilled gem setters. An aftermarket diamond Rolex rarely comes close to the same level of quality as an original diamond-set Rolex, both in regards to the diamond itself and the quality of its setting. An original factory-set diamond Rolex is rare and will also hold its value better than one with custom-set diamonds. In fact, many aftermarket watches are actually worth much less than they were before the diamonds were added, both because the diamonds are considered by many as a non-genuine component and because they can often cause functional issues for the watch. Rolex will even go as far as to require that the custom components be replaced with their factory-intended counterparts before they will agree to service the watch.Overall, diamond watches are a smartwatch to purchase, if you know where to look. In addition to the size and clarity of diamonds, how they are cut and set into the watches plays a huge role in bringing out their natural beauty. Therefore, its important to only buy genuine factory-set diamond Rolex watches, as these will use only the highest quality diamonds and other gemstones. A genuine example on the secondary market is a pretty sound investment and can add significant value to your watch box without the initial top-tier price tag.

Tudor has published a lot of classic models that are not only in genuine watch market, but also became one of the mostly replicated watches in fake watch industry. The Black Bay is even a good alternative of Rolex Submariner. In the past, Tudor watches were replicated by a lot of factories, but Z is the only factory that made the highest quality replica Tudor watches, especially the Tudor Bronzo replica made by Z, it was immediately sold out after being released, and was always out of stock. Today, the replica Tudor watch I want to talk is made by another factory, which we call it KR. Maybe it is a sub-factory of Z, who knows? Because since the beginning of 2018, some manufacturers in our market opened their sub-branches. The Tudor Black Bay replica here is more simple and smaller, so the watch will suit most people and a good choice for watch fans who love simpleness and elegance at the most.
Replica Rolex Yacht-Master 116622 in grey looks not as bright as another model with a ocean blue dial, many people would still like it. The sapphire crystal glass matches the stainless steel belt well, and these two materials make it a good one for normal occasions, and of course, wearing suits. What’smore, the luminous dial is classic and useful which follows the Yacht-Master Perpetual Date series.Choosing a Rolex watch won’t be wrong due to its design and function.

Actually Seamaster Spectre 007 is also one of the best sellers of Omega within these 10 years. Not only because of its vintage military appearance, but the watch comes with both nato strap and steel bracelet. Here I am going to introduce another James Bond watch, it is a Rolex Submariner, Reference 6538, yes, the watch is a vintage Submariner and many James Bond fans said it is the first watch worn by him. So, one question appears, about Omega and Rolex Submariner, which one is the authentic watch first worn by James Bond in the 007 movie, this has raised a hot discussion, but I think Rolex Submariner is the first James Bond watch.The vintage Submariner 6538 has several differences with modern Submariner. First, size. The replica 6538 is only 38mm in case diameter, the case is fully brushed, including both case sides, which are usually mirror polished on modern Submariner. Black bezel insert has all white markers printed, the bezel pearl has a silver round edge that wraps around it. The crown is the biggest place to tell this vintage Submariner from others.
AR has improved this replica three times, the latest edition is V3, it is also made with 904L stainless steel, while with better case and bracelet finish I think, the movement in ARF 116660 is a clone ETA 2824, while it is also a good movement choice. At lower prices, BP, VR and KS factories also make the replica of Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA D-Blue 116660, although not made with 904L stainless steel, but they are also in moderate quality, they are very good choices for people who do not have enough budget.GS Factory Published Two Diamond Submariner WatchesIn this week, GS factory published two special Rolex Submariner replica watches, among so many Submariner models coming from various watch manufacturers, these two Submariner 116619 replicas look so special because there are diamonds decoration on bezel, lugs and crown guards. One has a blue dial, the other has a black dial.The two watches have a case diameter of 40mm and measured to be 13mm in thickness. On the blue model, the bezel is embeded with blue sapphires except those white crystal 24-hour markers. The lugs are decorated with brilliant diamonds on the front.About the black one, the uni-directional rotating bezel is embeded with black baguette stones at each marker, others are clear crystals. The following are more detailes of the two watches.Movement: Asia ETA 2836-2 AutomaticCase: 40mm*13mm, 316F Stainless Steel, Diamond Encrusted Lugs Bezel: Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel Embeded with Baguette Stones Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Rolex Crown at 6 o’clock Dial: Blue/Black with Dot Lumed Hour Markers Bracelet: Solid 316F Stainless Steel with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50m GM Factory Replica Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 Pepsi Blue/Red Ceramic Bezel with Jubilee Bracelet GMF Replica Rolex GMT-Master II GMT-Master II is one of the best-selling model of Rolex.

In watch market, the price of one genuine GMT-Master II 126710 is up to 20,000 US Dollars, and there are still many watch fans who pursue it. So, we can see its high popularity. In our replica watch industry, a lot of factories are making replica Rolex GMT-Master watches, BP, KS, DJ, GM and Noob are top five watch manufacturers that are making good quality Rolex GMT-Master replica watches. KS, DJ and GM are three new factories that just appeared in the end of 2018 year. For Rolex GMT-Master II126710 replica, GM is the only one factory that makes the replica with 904L stainless steel, so, that’s the biggest advantage of this factory. Currently Noob has not made this replica, so, if you are waiting for the best version from Noob, you still need to wait for a while, maybe several months.Replica Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 Replica Rolex GMT-Master II Blue Red Bezel The case of 126710 is made of solid 904L stainless steel, the whole piece of the middle case is made of solid 904L stainless steel, this type of stainless steel has extremely high corrosion resistance. about bezel, GM factory uses real bir-color blue and red ceramic insert, the firing of bi-color ceramic is very hard, GM factory researched the porcelain technology used by genuine watch and finally made this bi-color Pepsi ceramic bezel that looks more natural. The 24-hour markers on the bezel are filled with platinum coating, whose color is very close to genuine.Replica Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 Pepsi Replica Rolex GMT-Master II Blue Red The entire dial details are perfectly finished.
It is a nice big-crown Submariner, there is a Rolex Crown Logo on face, while under the crown logo, it is “BREVET” not “ROLEX”. Almost all vintage Rolex watches adopt domed plexi plastic crystal face, so does this one.The dial is black, featuring yellowish hour markers and printings. Benz hands are a bit narrower, not that wide on modern Submariners. The printing “200m = 600ft” says that genuine 6538 could be water resistant to 200 meters, however, this replica has been tested in factory to be 30m waterproof. The dial and bezel pearl all emit strong green light in dark place.The replica big crown 6538 Submariner is equipped with an Asian ETA 2836-2 movement, which is modified from a Chinese Sea-Gull automatic movement. Many readers who have sent me inquiries asked to equip real Swiss ETA movement in their watches, the truth is that some replica watches could be equipped with real Swiss ETA calibre, but some vintage Rolex like this one is not able to be installed.The King in Deep Sea Diving – Replica Rolex D-Blue 116660 James Cameron WatchTo pay tribute to the historic diving depth record which James Cameron created, Rolex published Deepsea D-Blue watch, which is to memorate the event which James Cameron succeeded in reaching the deepest Mariana Trench under deep sea.The watch is a high-tech product, with thick case and crystal, best lume material applied on the dial, 116660 could withstand the greatest pressure under water, and the dial could offer you the best readability even in the greatest darkness of Mariana Trench.Now I am pleased to introduce the replica watch of Sea-Dweller Deepsea D-Blue 116660, there are two types of this replica in the market, one is in low quality at cheap price, the other is this one I am going to introduce here, it is made by a big famous factory named “Noob”, we call it N. This factory is good at manufacturing good quality Rolex Submariner and Sea-Dweller replicas.The case is made of 316F stainless steel and has a brushed face, it is 43mm in diameter but seems to be bigger and thicker than other Submariner and Deepsea replicas.
Compared with other common IWC Mark series models, this Mark XVIII titanium watch is very outstanding. Grey Titanium case, track-style minutes markers, brown dial and brown leather straps, these elements make the watch full of vintage flavor. The replica is a really a big surprise from GS factory.IWC Portuguese is a very famous watch and it is one of the best-selling dress watches in the world. In our watch market, there are three factories at least that are manufacturing IWC Portuguese watches, ZF, YL and 3A. Among them, ZF is the biggest and most famous one. Actually ZF makes the best quality replica IWC Portuguese watch, they are also the first factory that started to clone genuine IWC Caliber. Like this replica, ZF equipped a clone 79350 movement inside, this is a great improvement, because it is the first time for a factory to use a cloned IWC Caliber in a IWC Portuguese chrono replica watch, we only saw factories used such type of movements in IWC non-chrono Portuguese. The replica is a V2 edition, the V1 uses an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, now the V2 uses a new clone 79350 like genuine IWC Caliber. This is the biggest difference, while there are certainly other improvement made on this latest version, let’s check it carefully in the following article.
